Joshua Culibao vs. Ricardo Ramos is one of the most interesting UFC 305 prelims. This is a fight between two exciting fighters who are trying to get back onto the winning track after two losses in a row. Which of these will end their losing run at UFC 305? Let’s find out!

Before Betting on Joshua Culibao vs. Ricardo Ramos

Joshua Culibao is 11-3-1 with two losses in a row, both of which happened by decision. First, he lost to Lerone Murphy by unanimous decision in a fight, in which he really got beaten up.

Murphy took him down three times and attempted a submission twice. He also landed twice as many strikes as Culibao and even knocked him down once. The fact that he didn’t finish him is a testament to Culibao’s toughness.

In his most recent fight, Culibao suffered four takedowns, with his opponent Danny Silva attempting a submission once. The reason all this is important is that Culibao’s wrestling/grappling skills might be tested again.

At UFC 305 in Perth, he’s fighting a prominent grappler, Ricardo Ramos. This guy is 16-6 with two losses in a row, both of which happened by submission – vs. Charles Jourdain and Julian Erosa. However, he wanted to grapple with his opponents, both of whom he took down twice.

His grappling failed him in those two fights, but this doesn’t mean Ramos is a bad grappler. On the contrary, he’s a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu with 7 of his 16 wins happening by submission.

The Joshua Culibao vs. Ricardo Ramos odds suggest the Aussie fighter is going to win this fight, but we think books are wrong on this. Culibao is probably the favorite for the fact that he lost his last two fights by decision rather than a finish, which was the case with Ramos.

However, we do believe that Ramos is exactly the kind of fighter Culibao doesn’t do great against. We think he can take him down and finish him by either ground-and-pound or submission.
